From the hot meme department, the next fad to sweep the net will be link-backs. Basically, the idea is that you capture the URL of all pages that refer to your website and list them as links on your page. This, if you link to a page, the page automatically links back to you. It may sound dumb at first - but only until you start using the linkback URLs as your major browsing tool. The major limitation so far is that the page must be CGI generated or requires a server side include - but I'm working on a way to deploy linkbacks for the masses. Stay tuned.
